Tasting Notes

A light and delicate pinot noir with so much energy. Refined bouquet of wild strawberry, red cherry, forest floor, and clove. The palate is silky and layered, with bright acidity and elegant tannins. Notes of rose, dried herbs, and subtle oak round out a persistent, mineral-driven finish. A mountain Pinot with finesse, energy, and aging potential.
